 Abraham Lincoln craft 

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.
     
  • Color (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.  This may require an adult's assistance.
     
  • Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube. 
     
  • Glue the bowtie around the top of the tube.
     
  • Glue the head onto the top of the tp roll, overlapping the V of the shirt.
     
  • Glue the hat onto the head.
     
  • Glue the arms onto the sides of the body.
     
  • Glue the feet onto the bottom of the tp roll, using the tabs to give them a 3D effect (fold the tabs and glue so the feet stick out from the tp roll).

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
